Marine turtles are known to migrate several thousands of kilometres between their feeding and breeding grounds. These migrations have been studied by the application of metal tags on flippers, with intense monitoring at nesting sites, and opportunistic recovery in offshore waters, providing information on turtle movements. Often, several thousands of tags have been applied with very low levels of recapture. Satellite telemetry is a high-tech, and expensive, method to track turtles during their migration across the open ocean. Molecular genetic techniques have offered ways to track turtles both through space and time. The comparison of genetic haplotypes from different regions makes it possible to study population structure, test theories of natal homing, and even assign feeding populations to nesting sites and vice versa. The study of these haplotypes has also made it possible to look at relationships between species and populations, and study evolutionary biogeography or phylogeography of these animals.  相似文献

In the early 1990s, large numbers of children in India remained out of school. International commitments to achieve education for all (EFA) globally meant that India was an important case for donors. India was pressed to accept aid for primary education, and agreed with some reluctance. Although subsequent donor involvement was substantial and influenced aspects of both policy implementation and management, it is shown that Indian education policy priorities remained self-determined. The Government of India – though falling short of securing universal education for its children – succeeded in using external resources and expertise in ways which suited its own purposes, whilst minimising external impact on policy development. The politics and economics of this process are discussed.  相似文献

A beautiful monocarpic palm of the Western Ghats, talipot which through the ages played a silent role in the culture, economy and ecology especially of the west coast of South India, is facing an uncertain future mainly due to negligence. Much could be done to bring back this palm from obscurity into the mainstream of conservation.  相似文献

India’s elite sector of engineering universities, Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs), are seen as safe gateways to a life in the politically hyped “new India” of the global knowledge economy. The Indian entrance exam coaching industry each year enrolls hundreds of thousands of students in classes strictly directed at “cracking” the institutes’ famous Joint Entrance Examination (JEE). Vast majorities of students at IITs are by now former coaching students, and coaching is increasingly supplanting performance in secondary education as the perceived prerequisite for IIT admission. This poses serious questions about the ability of the institutions to autonomously steer student selection and recruit the select exceptional students whom until now have kept “IITians” in the center of imaginaries of India’s future. This article explores the case of residential pre-entrance exam coaching to assess the coaching sector’s role in shaping India’s future technological leaders. It assesses the educational structure of the sector, its effect on student lives, the life aspirations it relies on, and how it is shaping IIT education itself. The case of entrance exam coaching in India, it is argued, prompt a reassessment of the concept of “shadow education” in order to begin a more thorough research agenda focused on the educational production and policy consequences of this “shadow” industry as an integrated (even if unwanted) and co-constitutive part of the higher education sector.  相似文献

In a diverse country like India first hand observations of diversity of life forms could provide an interesting focus and purpose to the teaching of biology. In the process it could generate information of great relevance to monitor biodiversity in order to assess the efficacy of our conservation efforts. The endeavour of organizing such observations into a countrywide biodiversity information system could help catalyze our transition to the information age.  相似文献

This article explores the connections between official contemporary identity formation and colonial pasts. Using the case studies of India and Ireland the article explores how different traditions of theorisation are powerful in these formations. India and Ireland were two colonial domains that had many linkages outside the ambit of the British. These linkages are made sense of using methodological approaches like those deployed by Dick Selleck and Geoff Sherington in key works. Yet the colonial stories of these two countries are also distinctive, offering up strong trajectories that inform different contemporary controversies from uncomfortable yet stereotyped perspectives.  相似文献

In conservation problems, it is commonly assumed that equivalence judgments are not facilitated by observation of the stimuli following transformation. The reverse is usually assumed to be the case. These assumptions were tested in a training experiment. Perceptual counterparts of a series of conservation of length tests were presented to subjects who were catagorized as conservers or nonconservers on conservations of length pretests, and to conservers and nonconservers given conservation of length training. Perceptual performance of the untrained nonconservers was significantly worse than that of the other 3 groups, that is, trained nonconservers, untrained conservers, and trained conservers. These findings are interpreted as consistent with the hypothesis that conservation is attained with the support of perception, not in spite of it.  相似文献

Molecular modeling has become a valuable and essential tool to medicinal chemists in the drug design process. Molecular modeling describes the generation, manipulation or representation of three-dimensional structures of molecules and associated physico-chemical properties. It involves a range of computerized techniques based on theoretical chemistry methods and experimental data to predict molecular and biological properties. Depending on the context and the rigor, the subject is often referred to as ‘molecular graphics’, ‘molecular visualizations’, ‘computational chemistry’, or ‘computational quantum chemistry’. The molecular modeling techniques are derived from the concepts of molecular orbitals of Hückel, Mullikan and ‘classical mechanical programs’ of Westheimer, Wiberg and Boyd.  相似文献

In this study, we aimed to understand experience of students about transition from lecture mode to case study pedagogy in business management courses. Indian education system is predominantly a follower of the lecture mode of teaching from the grass-root level till graduation. Hence Indian students are relatively less familiar with the case based teaching method. In recent times, the case pedagogy has been rapidly replacing the lecture mode in higher education institutes of India, especially at the business management colleges. We conducted a grounded theory based interview of 33 post graduate students enrolled in a business school (B School) in India, which incorporated a pedagogy shift from lecture to case method during academic session 2010–2011. We found that some of the major factors which facilitated the transition process of the students to this new style of learning were previous educational background, prior work experience, course evaluation methods, institute policies and proper orientation through preparatory sessions. Our findings substantiated extant studies conducted in the context of western countries. The findings also provide a systematic analysis of the various issues in incorporating such pedagogic shifts, which may help academicians to successfully troubleshoot any problems associated with commencement of case based teaching in the Indian context.  相似文献

印度作为低收入的发展中大国,从理论上讲应该立足于国内市场,发展劳动密集型产业。然而印度却在近年内迅速走到了世界计算机软件产业的前列。从产业特点来看,飞速发展的印度软件业是出口导向的产业,也是人力资本密集的产业。这表明印度既抓住了国际市场上发达国家软件及服务需求不断扩大的机遇,又充分利用人口大国丰富而低廉的人力资源优势,因而能在发达国家主导的知识密集型产业领域占据有利地位。这为发展中国家如何在知识经济时代利用本国的比较优势促进经济发展提供了有益的启示。  相似文献

In comparison with social learning about food, social learning about predators has received little attention. Yet such research is of potential interest to students of animal cognition and conservation biologists. I summarize evidence for social learning about predators by fish, birds, eutherian mammals, and marsupials. I consider the proposal that this phenomenon is a case of S-S classical conditioning and suggest that evolution may have modified some of the properties of learning to accommodate for the requirements of learning socially about danger. I discuss some between-species differences in the properties of socially acquired predator avoidance and suggest that learning may be faster and more robust in species in which alarm behavior reliably predicts high predatory threat. Finally, I highlight how studies of socially acquired predator avoidance can inform the design of prerelease antipredator training programs for endangered species.  相似文献

Anatomical fixation and conservation are required to prevent specimens from undergoing autolysis and decomposition. While fixation is the primary arrest of the structures responsible for autolysis and decomposition, conservation preserves the state of fixation. Although commonly used, formaldehyde has been classified as carcinogenic to humans. For this reason, an adequate substitute was developed. Ethanol-glycerin fixation and thymol conservation are described and compared with formaldehyde and phenol in this technical report. The setup, tissue qualities, financial aspects, and health concerns of this method are discussed. Ethanol-glycerin fixation and thymol conservation provide outstanding haptic and optic tissue qualities. Typical formaldehyde and phenol effects, such as skin, airway, and eye irritation, as well as carcinogenic effects, can be circumvented by using ethanol-glycerin and thymol instead. Ethanol-glycerin fixation is more expensive than formaldehyde and requires an explosion-proof facility. However, the absence of health effects and its convincing tissue qualities balance these higher costs. Therefore, ethanol-glycerin fixation and thymol conservation provide a potential alternative and complement established fixation techniques. The use of carcinogenic formaldehyde and toxic phenol can be effectively restricted through the use of the described method.  相似文献
